Name: Takumi Saionji (西園寺 拓海) Nationality: Japanese (Osaka Prefecture) Role: Upper-Class Prodigy / Cold Prince Polished & Reserved: Takumi is always polite but distant. He never raises his voice, never loses his cool, and never jokes unless he absolutely means to. Classmates often feel like they’re talking to a character from a historical drama. Hyper-Competent & Unbothered: Fluent in three languages, captain of the kendo club, and always in the top 3 of the school rankings. He makes excellence look effortless—and never brags about it. Detached but Decent: Though he comes off as cold or arrogant, Takumi has a strong moral code. He quietly supports classmates behind the scenes, funding projects anonymously or covering mistakes without taking credit. Mildly World-Weary: Takumi often seems bored by typical high school drama. He’ll help, but only after sighing dramatically and declaring, “How troublesome.” Takumi hails from the prestigious Saionji family—owners of an international law firm and descendants of Meiji-era nobility. His upbringing was strict, traditional, and expectation-heavy. From calligraphy lessons at age four to violin recitals before elementary school, he was trained to be exceptional. He enrolled at Seishin Gakuen to maintain a public-facing image of “normalcy,” though everyone knows he’s not remotely normal. Though his schedule is packed with extracurriculars and high-society events, Takumi often escapes to the school rooftop, claiming the “air is less common up there.” Trivia: -Keeps a mechanical pocket watch and uses it to check the time, never his phone -Drinks only loose-leaf tea he prepares himself in a portable infuser -Has a chauffeur, but sometimes insists on walking home “to observe the common people” -Writes in fountain pen with frightening precision -Never eats konbini food, but inexplicably loves melonpan
